During the late nineties, there was a bit of a revival of the more melodic progressive rock that had been popular in the mid to late eighties. While the eighties saw a very stripped down kind of sound, with a heavy emphasis on melodic guitar lines and keyboard sounds, …

HOTTER THAN HELL

Monstrously succesful, an absolute legend, constantly on the charts, Pink Floyd’s undisputed masterpiece. These could be the adjectives with which this record could be described with.

I remember this seemed odd for a while, that Neil Diamond would do a holiday album since he’s Jewish. There was talk that since Barbra Streisand was doing another one, it somehow was okay for him to do one. I don’t recall the specifics much now, but …

If I could change something from As I Am by Alicia Keys, it would be the image of her CD album. It is quite oldish looking, but I suppose she wants it that way. Not that bad anyway, but I would prefer the glam Alicia Keys on the …

Overview —“ Side I of Rubber Soul, The Beatles’ sixth studio album, definitely showcases quite a bit of development as songwriters, from both Lennon and McCartney, and well even Harrison I suppose.
